My point stands. To compare anti-Semitism anywhere and any time with people who are fed up with Muslim radicalism and the moderate Muslims who support it or refuse to denounce it is ludicrous.

And my point stands that that is not what is being cirticized here. Comparing anti-Semitism to the deliberate targeting of Muslims may differ in detail, scale, and attempts at justification, but it is still religious bigotry.

The only issue I have about people who are fed up with Muslim radicalism (And unlike you, I do not consideranyone who supports terrorism and radicalism to be a "moderate" by any definition of the word) is that too many are too eager to bloviate too much about it and too few are willing to take concrete action to stop it.

But the Nuke Mecca Crowd isn't denouncing terrorists or their appeasers. The Nuke Mecca Crowd is denouncing all Muslims, no matter what their personal or political beliefs may be. That is anti-Muslim bigotry and that is wrong and that is why it can be compared to anti-Semitism.
